I was amazed how well I felt after the surgery. No more pain.

Dr. Sankey was very well dressed, obviously cares enough to take care of himself. I used to be a dental technician and I noticed he has very nice teeth that may sound silly to some of you, but to me it means he is a perfectionist that cares about details and that is very important to me as I am the same way. Anyway, I feel like I am in good hands and I am much less worried about surgery now.
